Such a strange find but not "uncommon" for flea markets. I remember a guy here in Kuwait who found a ring that belonged to a european monarch. He bought it for like... 15 dollars and sold it for a milion !

LOL< If only that was what I'd found!!!

I just thought it was a fun thing. It comes with test reports dating right up to 1990.
Not sure why the hell I bought it, wanted to read through the paperwork and bring it here to 'show and tell' I think

UNUSUAL AND COOL. IF I HAD IT I WOULD MOUNT IT ON THE PORCH CELING OUTSIDE ABOVE MY FRONT DOOR. IT LOOKS LIKE THE ALL SEING SECURITY EYE AND THE WRITING ON IT WOULD FURTHUR INTIMIDATE.

Well Gene, I couldn't see the relevance to 'ethnographic' weapons....but then I realised.....a bit of chainmail and you'd have a Kulah-Khud

with its own 'glow in the dark' light....would certainly get you noticed on the battle field

Is Portsmouth that dangerous that you feel the need to 'stockpile' such extreme measures ....or is the economy so bad that the Royal Navy needs to sell some of its weaponry to 'make ends meet'

Kind Regards David

David,
I've not been in Pompey for a long time! Rough old place, I'd need more than a few SAM's for protection there
